The Weekly Fashion Roundup: Meghan Markle Channels Audrey Hepburn, Beyoncé Fêtes ‘The Lion King’ & More

The 36-year-old Mary Poppins Returns star looked radiant at the American Institute for Stuttering’s 13th annual gala last Friday wearing a chic fusion of pink and orange. Blunt paired a bubblegum pink Elie Saab gown with Sophia Webster Rosalind two-tone pink and orange patent-leather sandals ($395).  This just may be our favorite new color combination.

The 46-year-old new mom hit the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports awards red carpet with her 8-month-old daughter, Kaavia, and husband Dwyane Wade. She wore a mini jacquard dress from the Antonio Berardi pre-fall 2019 collection and long braids for the occasions. The best part about this pic (other than Kaavia’s cheeks)? Union’s dress has pockets.

Queen Bey, 37, wore a gorgeous custom gold Cong Tri gown with a waist-high slit, Jimmy Choo gold Misty heels ($875) and Lorraine Schwartz jewels to meet royalty (ahem, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry) at the U.K. premiere of The Lion King this past Sunday.

Taking sartorial inspiration from Audrey Hepburn, the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex selected a now sold-out black Jason Wu dress with sheer sleeves and an illusion top to meet Beyoncé and subsequently break the internet. She accessorized the demure look with embellished Aquazzura Portrait of a Lady heels (sold out in black, but still available in white for $950), the sold-out Gucci Broadway clutch with a meaningful butterfly clip and Nikos Koulis diamond and black stud earrings ($12,204).

The 37-year-old Duchess of Cambridge fulfilled her Wimbledon patron duties on Sunday and attended the men’s tennis championship finals with her husband, Prince William. Middleton wore a custom version of the now sold-out Emilia Wickstead Jordin midi dress with surprisingly inexpensive ALDO Nicholes suede block heels in bone ($80). She accessorized the look with In2Design pearl drop baroque earrings ($152), a Ballon Bleu de Cartier stainless steel watch ($5,750) and Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses ($153). It was aces.

Speaking of Wimbledon, the royal trifecta that is Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and Pippa Middleton (technically not royal, but you know what we mean) got together to watch Serena Williams face off against Simona Halep on Saturday. Pippa wore an Anna Mason London floral midi dress ($912), Markle wore a Givenchy white collared shirt and striped sold-out skirt by Hugo Boss and Kate stunned in a Kelly green Dolce & Gabbana dress.
